Reports: MSM Reporters Give Hillary Clinton Standing Ovation after She Takes No Questions, Jokes about Email Scandal

Big Journalism "On Monday evening, mainstream media reporters reportedly gave Hillary Clinton a standing ovation after she joked about her private email scandal and took no questions from the press–at an event honoring excellence in journalism.

"According to a National Journal report, Clinton took no questions after her 20-minute speech in Washington, D.C., which prompted the Washington Post‘s Dan Balz, who won this year’s Robin Toner award for excellence in political reporting, to reportedly make Clinton an offer: “I am happy to yield my time back to you if you want to take some questions.” Time reported that “Clinton received a standing ovation” anyway “from the journalist-heavy crowd.' ” . . .


 Liberal Journos Applaud Hillary As She Jokes About Her Press Avoidance 

But Hillary's for accountability until she finds it inconvenient. National Journal reported Clinton took no questions after her 20-minute speech, which prompted Dan Balz to reportedly make Clinton an offer: “I am happy to yield my time back to you if you want to take some questions.”
PS: Speaking of prizes and "echo chambers," Toner was a contender in our Media Hero Award category in 1989 for her syrupy tribute to then-Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell:

Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez Called ‘Communist’ and ‘Traitor’ in Los Angeles [Video]

Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez Called ‘Communist’ and ‘Traitor’ in Los Angeles [Video]

"These are not altogether baseless smears. Gutierrez was a member of the Socialist Party in Puerto Rico during the 80s.

"Via Discover the Networks:

"From 1984-86 Gutierrez, a Democrat, served as an advisor to Mayor Harold Washington of Chicago. In 1986 Gutierrez was elected alderman of that city’s mostly-Hispanic 26th Ward. At the time, he was a member of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, a Marxist-Leninist entity.

"At the same event, illegal immigrants shouted the slogan “¡Sí se puede!”–Spanish for “Yes, it can be done!” or “Yes, you can do it!”

"Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, creators of the “¡Sí se puede!” slogan, were students of Saul Alinsky’s brand of community organizing, as were Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“ 'Yes, We Can!” originates from “¡Sí se puede!,” which is a communist revolutionary slogan."

Stop clapping! You’re triggering feminist anxiety!

 

Legal Insurrection   "You’ll need to use Jazz Hands.

"Today will go down in history as the day feminists officially stepped beyond the bounds of self-parody.

'UK based outfit, the National Union of Students is hosting a conference for women. The multi-day conference for union delegates began today. Motions up for consideration at the conference include designating the abolishment of prisons as a feminist issue, free education and living grants, supporting the decriminalization of sex work, ending Transphobia, Biphobia, and Islamophobia on campus, and supporting the right to justice and education for Palestine.

"This afternoon (our time, anyway), a group in attendance made the following request:

 OUSUWomen'sCampaign

@nuswomcam please can we ask people to stop clapping but do feminist jazz hands? it's triggering some peoples' anxiety. thank you!

"But this is what happens when you get an abundance of special snowflakes in a room together to talk about inclusion, diversity, and equality — without fail, they walk themselves past hypocrisy and into the land of self-parody. Sad indeed."

Time for the Obamadorian Reaction

 

American Thinker   "Unlike many, I do not think President Obama is a secret member of the Muslim Brotherhood.  Nor do I think he has sympathies for radical Islam. His gay friendly endeavors run counter to sharia.


"Rather, I think President Obama is a benighted leftist who actually thinks that, if given a free chance, everyone everywhere would choose a gay friendly, animal loving, socialist world view that by means of democracy would lead the whole planet to a palm fronded halcyon multicultural eco-friendly paradise.


"To put it bluntly, Obama is probably a true believer. A true believer in Christ ... certainly not! In Allah ... probably not!  Or he would not have tried to ram gay friendly practices on African Nations.

. . . " Obama should be told that if he does not interfere with the engines of the Republic, he can finish out his term honorably and take his pension and his Nobel Prize with him, along with whatever low calorie health snacks are left in the White House refrigerator; but for the remaining 21 months of the Obama administration, the Congress, via legislation, will steer the ship of state with an eye to avoiding the reefs that Obama was so fond of ramming.  If not, Obama will spend the rest of his administration fighting impeachment proceedings.

"Like the French Revolution, Cromwell's Puritan visions, and Soviet Lysenkoism, Obama has taken the US down a path of destruction. If we do not pull out, then we will collapse.  The English reverted to a corrupt monarchy rather than put up with a post-Cromwell theocracy. The corrupt monarchy that followed led directly to the American Revolution. France had its Thermidorian Reaction, which led to Napoleon and to millions lost in his grandiose campaigns.  Stalin's takeover slaughtered millions.


"So also will we fail if Congress does not act firmly.

"This is an unusual use of Congressional power, but it is constitutional." . . .

 

Iran’s Chief Nuclear Negotiator: Lift All Sanctions First, No Concessions

 

PJ Tatler

"Iran’s senior nuclear negotiator has stressed yet again that there is no deal with the P5+1 unless all sanctions on the Islamic Republic are lifted first.
"In fact, there are “no concessions” on Iran’s part forthcoming, he said.
"Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi said early this month that Tehran’s “principle position is that all sanctions are lifted at once.”
"Last week, 260 lawmakers in the 290-seat Islamic Consultative Assembly wrote a letter demanding that all sanctions be removed as a prerequisite for signing a nuclear deal.
“ 'As a guarantee for implementation, in case of any violation of obligations by the opposite side, the agreement will be declared null and void and enrichment will be resumed at any required level,” the lawmakers wrote." . . .

 

Show Us Where Israel Touched You, Mr. President

Erick Erickson    "I chuckled the other day on twitter when I saw Kevin Eder tweet, “Mr President, please show me on the doll where Israel touched you.” The President’s antagonism toward Israel, shared by many on the left, borders on the irrational. A nation surrounded by many larger nations all hell bent on its annihilation, Israel’s fight for existence is not like ours.

"In minutes, the nation of Israel could be vaporized by nutjob — like the nutjob who tells his people America is the Great Satan and Israel must be destroyed. That’d be the Ayatollah. But Barack Obama, who has condemned Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign rhetoric, says the “death to America” rhetoric in Iran is just for domestic political consumption.

"At this point, we may really have to present a doll to President Obama and has him to show us where Israel touched him. What we will find is that Israel touched him in his ego." . . .

Obama’s treatment of Israel in one tweet

Saw it coming from a mile away.

The featured image was sent in response to my tweet:

TV report: Obama left PM ‘with impression US will abandon Israel at UN’

 

"President Barack Obama’s supposed congratulatory call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, two days after the Likud leader triumphed in Israel’s elections, was actually a bitter 30-minute conversation, Israel’s two main TV news stations reported Friday night.

"Quoting unnamed Israeli sources, they said the president made clear he didn’t believe Netanyahu was genuinely supportive of a two-state solution to the Palestinian conflict, and that he indicated that the US would no longer automatically support Israel at the United Nations." . . .

Libel Is Obama's Latest Weapon In His War On Israel

 Congress’s Spies in Tel Aviv    "The Wall Street Journal reports: “Israel Spied on Iran Nuclear Talks With U.S.” Sounds like a blockbuster, but this is one of those less-there-than-meets-the-eye stories. It begins:" . . .

Investors Business Daily


" Diplomacy: Now the White House dubiously charges that Israel spied on the U.S. This president, with Nixonian obsession, is so bent on wrecking relations with our top Mideast ally that we're close to a de facto state of war.

"Behold what's buried in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal — a claim of Israeli spying, which was obviously planted by one or more nameless administration officials seeking to make the Israelis' newly re-elected leader look like a U.S. enemy:" . . .Read More At Investor's Business Daily:

How intense is spying on Israel? This intense.
. . . "With news that Israel spied on the Iran nuke negotiations, there is high dudgeon in some quarters.
"Extending the administration’s Bibi-bashing news cycle apparently was the intent of the U.S. officials who leaked the information to The Wall Street Journal.
"While Israel denies spying on U.S. officials, as opposed to targeting the Iranians with whom U.S. officials had communications, the incident is being exploited.
"But there needs to be a reality check.
"Friendly governments spy on friendly government. That’s how friends make sure who are their real friends.
"The way the U.S. allegedly found out Israel was spying on the nuke negotiations was because the U.S. was spying on Israel."

Today's Ted Cruz speech

Ann Althouse regrets her comparison of Cruz's speech to John Lennon

. . . AND: I'm watching. And right at the beginning — at 1:38 — he says "Imagine a little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware." Whoa! You had me at little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware... I was a little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware!ADDED: Let the record show, that at 4:58, I cried.AND: I'm sorry I led off with the joke on "Imagine." This is a truly powerful speech. Just brilliant.ALSO: Here's the full transcript. " . . .

 "I see that Think Progress has an article titled "Ted Cruz Just Laid Out The Most Anti-Woman Agenda Yet." I've listened to the whole speech and I can't imagine what it refers to. I've read the article at the link, and I really don't know. Seems to be that Cruz supports policies that, in the opinion of Think Progress, would not serve the interests of women."

Ted Cruz’s Liberty University speech leaves Media frazzled

The entire speech:

The fear [in 2008], as it is now with Cruz, is that throwing a man with such limited experience into the Oval Office would be a disaster.

. . . "If you want proof there is such a risk, they say look no further than than Barack Obama. One time community organizer and generally inexperienced dude, who has taken this country in generally awful directions in just about every way you can imagine.  But is that the result of inexperience?" .  . .  Yahoo News calls Cruz a rookie, however:

Prior to his election to the Senate, Cruz's career was centered on practicing law at the highest level. A graduate of Harvard Law School and clerk for Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist, Cruz led a Houston-based firm's Supreme Court practice, taught such litigation at the University of Texas and was charged with representing the state before the high court as its solicitor general. He also served in the George W. Bush administration, at both the Federal Trade Commission and as an associate deputy attorney general at the Justice Department.

Rep. Peter King Threatens to Jump Off a Bridge if Cruz Gets GOP Nomination
. . . “We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications, no legislation being passed, doesn’t provide leadership and he has no real experience. So, to me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results.” . . .

This coloring book features Ted Cruz fighting a giant snake named Obamacare

"Publisher Really Big Coloring Book released the Ted Cruz-themed coloring book Cruz to the Future in late 2013 — the publisher says it was the top-selling children's coloring book on Amazon for "about 20 weeks" — and an 8-page supplement, "Ted Saves America," in fall 2014. The image above, of Cruz celebrating his arrival in the White House by doing an Exorcist tribute, is from  the supplement. So is this image that we can only hope Cruz will replicate next, in which he saves America from giant mutant snakes."

Is Obama Anti-Semitic?

Lucianne

Alan Caruba: Is Obama Anti-Semitic?

. . . "Obama lives in some parallel universe apart from the lessons of history and the realities of what is actually occurring. On May 18, 2009, not long after Netanyahu had been in office and was visiting the White House, Obama was demanding that he endorse Palestinian statehood and freeze the settlements on the West Bank.

"Considering that the Palestinians had refused statehood from the day the United Nations endorsed Israel’s independence that has been a fool’s mission no matter who was President or Prime Minister.

"As for Obama’s demands about settlements, who is Obama to tell the Israelis in 2009 where and if they can build the housing needed for its growing population? And yet Netanyahu, seeking to accommodate Obama, endorsed Palestinian statehood shortly thereafter and then announced a ten-month freeze on settlement development.

"What did Netanyahu get in return? Nothing." . . .
